The tennis boys are doing their own tunnel walk now

The NFL and NBA have been doing tunnel walks for years—with players showcasing their individual styles prior to getting into uniform for the action. And now, tennis pros have entered the chat. With the 2026 US Open underway, male athletes, from Taylor Fritz to Flavio Cobolli to Alexander Zverev, put on their best fashion for a tunnel walk-style photo shoot on the streets of New York City.

Organised by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), the governing body of men’s professional tennis, the shots show the tennis stars off the court and out of their shorts and sneakers. What we do see: slouchy jackets, tailored suits, boxy tees, and bright pops of color.

Ahead, see the tennis boys walk their walk ahead of the US Open Men’s Final, which will take place on Sunday, September 13.

Alexander Zverev

A bright blue striped suit from Brunello Cucinelli looked right at home on the German tennis champion. He wore it with a classic white T-shirt and white sneakers, plus a Jacob & Co. watch and his signature man bun.

Taylor Fritz

The American star (and the world’s tennis boyfriend) wears a sleek black suit from Boss with a white button-up, black-and-white striped tie with a hint of brown, and brown dress shoes. His only piece of jewellery is a silver Rolex watch.

Andrey Rublev

The Russian athlete played with contrast as he slipped on a slouchy, muted-brown suit and paired it with teal staples: a button-down and suede sneakers. The look was courtesy of Italian luxury menswear brand Luca Faloni, and Rublev put it all together with a Vanguart watch and acetate shades.

Zizou Bergs

The Belgian athlete eschews the suit look for a cool street style moment featuring a boxy graphic tee, big trousers, and chunky sneakers, all from Golden Goose.

Rafael Jodar

The Spanish player goes full preppy, sporty Adidas in a checkered olive-green track jacket, loose blue trousers, and classic white-and-black Sambas.

Flavio Cobolli

Polished as ever, the Italian opted for a double-breasted Brunello Cucinelli suit in a deep, almost metallic blue, which he wore with a matching button-down, black leather loafer sans socks, a checkered pocket square, and a Bianchet watch.

Alex De Minaur

He may be Australian, but De Minaur went with a classic American uniform as he slipped on a white tee, washed-out blue jeans, and brown loafers, all from Ralph Lauren. His only accessories were wired earphones (trendy!) and a sporty grey watch from Gerald Charles.
